Easily the best of the WMC. Was in two minds whether to go as “afters” or whether to turn up for the afternoon session.

Went for the former and so glad we did. Packed at 7am, Lazarus killed it, Kurtel was a revelation, and Mr C was on the money for where we were at that time of day! (Loved hearing ‘Full Moon’ towards the end).

Stayed on until Seths set outside, but the Sun finally proved too much and had to leave.

Honestly one of the best parties I've ever been to. I Got Lost around this time last week and still haven't quite found my way back.

Fucking incredible party. Here's a review I wrote about it:

I don't even really know where to begin with Get Lost on Saturday...

When this party got announced in the weeks leading up to WMC, it was the show-stopping announcement I had been looking for, and the first party I bought my ticket for without any hesitation. I was looking forward to this party more than any other, and had high expectations.

This party was more than I ever expected and hoped for, and I am still trying to come to terms with just how good Get Lost was on Saturday.

When the set times got announced, I was disappointed to see that all the DJs I wanted to see were playing the very early slots since my plan was to sleep the night before, and get there at around 10am. I decided to bite the bullet and get there for opening or as close to it as possible.

We arrived at around 5:30am, and the place filled up very quickly. The day started off with a groovy, disco/funk-infused, mind-warping set by Lee Foss. Lee Foss was the DJ I was looking forward to seeing the most the whole week, and he did not disappoint. Next I saw Art Department (Toronto locals Kenny Glasgow and Johnny White) throw down a very groovy set with vocals done by Kenny G. Upstairs was absolutely rammed and going off during their set, which was awesome to see from what I consider to be some of Toronto's finest. For the first couple of hours of the morning, it was so packed and hot that I had to enjoy the party sitting down.

After Art Department's set, I was on my way outside to the terrace where I was stopped dead in my tracks by Matt Tolfrey. Wooooooooooooooow. This guy absolutely killed it. He was in the top 3 best sets of the conference for me. Even though there were very few people down stairs, and the music was very pitched down and quite housey, I stood right front and center, barely spoke a word and rocked the fuck out for the entire duration of his set. He was SO good. From a guy that was completely off my radar, I can't believe how floored I was by him. I'm happy that Shaun Reeves showed up late, because Tolfrey played an extra long set.

After Tolfrey was finished, I went upstairs to catch the end of Damian Lazerus' set, and was surprised to see Tania Vulcano make a surprise appearance. Considering her set got cut short at Circo Loco, I was happy to hear her play there.

Then came the techno and tech-house beat downs by Konrad Black and Mr. C respectively. Mr. C and Konrad Black, with their no-nonsense, drugged-the-fuck-out techno and tech house sets changed Get Lost from a "really good" afterhours party, to a full-throttle, world-class, hedonistic free for all. Think DC-10, Panorama Bar: from this point on, this party had it all. I don't know what these two did, but the two of them removed the pin that held together any remnance of order that the party had left.

Mr C. started his set off by playing 4 of the most ridiculous tech house songs I've ever heard in my life. I can't even describe them. All I could do was just yell "what the fuck?!" and "oh my god!" repeatedly during those 4 tracks. Then Konrad Black came on and played techno like it was meant to be played. Banging, and no time for rest, anyone in the crowd will remember the name "Konrad Black" for some time to come. Afterward, Mr. C came back on again and made everyone in the room Get completely Lost. Interestingly, as his set progressed, instead of speeding it up, he slowed it down. By the end he was playing so slow that the crowd was completely hypnotized, brought to a level that I for one never even knew existed.

Once Mr C. was finally done, we came outside for some house grooves from Clive Herny and Dyed Soundorom. After what Mr C. and Konrad Black had done inside, the crowd was in complete shambles. Everyone was rocking out soooo hard, and no one gave a fuck about anything but the there and now. The sun was blaring down on the crowd, people were sweating, pounding drinks, and dancing it like it was the last moment on earth. People were wearing ridiculous costumes, and acting in a way that they would likely never act anywhere else. From 2:30-6:30pm I saw Clive Herny, Jamie Jones, Dyed Soundorom, Seth Troxler, Damian Lazarus and Shaun Reeves play a set and created an atmosphere that I don't think I will have the pleasure of enjoying again for a very long time. They played that new-school housey sound, with fun intstrumentals, vocals and groove. It was impeccable for the atmosphere. And yes, the atmosphere was sketchy, but there is a certain atmosphere and vibe that doesn't happen unless unbridled hedonism is allowed to happen. Think DC-10, think Panorama Bar, all of these parties are what they are because they are some of the few places where people are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want. And when people are allowed to do this, magic happens. Something indescribable takes place when people take it to a level that they will likely only take it a few times in their lives. It was almost as if heaven was shining down on those lucky few that were on the Electric Pickle patio that afternoon.

Get Lost was leaps and bounds better than any party I went to in Miami. Not to say that the other parties weren't good, but Get Lost was truly something special that I will try to make it to once again during my life. The music was 10/10 for the entire day. So much variety, and every DJs were playing their hearts out.
